An Afternoon at Central Illinois Reg. Airport


I spent Friday afternoon and early evening shooting video of airliner arrivals and departures at Central Illinois Regional Airport.

The airport serving Bloomington-Normal has far less activity than Peoria's facility but is easier to spot at and around. Despite some clumsy camera work capturing distant aircraft movements, I think the results were pretty good.

An American Eagle turnaround from Chicago-O'Hare flown on a CRJ200 (painted in SkyWest "house" colors) used Runway 29 for both arrival and departure. All others used Runway 2. These were turnarounds from Minneapolis/St. Paul (Delta Connection CRJ200), Dallas/Ft. Worth (American Eagle CRJ900), Atlanta (Delta Connection CRJ900) and St. Petersburg/Clearwater (Allegiant Air A320).

Due to its late arrival, I left before the Allegiant Air A-320 departure. Not this aircraft is painted for the "Make-A-Wish" foundation.
